As a chief physician at a tertiary hospital, I would like to offer the following recommendations regarding your question about a child experiencing abdominal pain around the navel area at night: First, I recommend that you take your child to see a pediatrician as soon as possible to rule out potential underlying conditions. Abdominal pain around the navel may be caused by various medical issues such as diarrhea, inguinal inflammation, peritonitis, or intra-abdominal fluid accumulation. Second, appropriate medication may be considered to relieve the child's discomfort, such as ibuprofen suspension or other pain relievers, under medical guidance. Lastly, preventive measures should be implemented, including improving nutritional intake, strengthening the child’s overall health, scheduling regular health check-ups, and seeking timely medical care when necessary. In summary, please bring your child to a pediatric clinic promptly for proper evaluation and early treatment. Additionally, ensure appropriate management and preventive strategies are in place to safeguard your child’s health.
